Moise Kean will miss this weekend's Serie A clash between Roma and Fiorentina at the Stadio Olimpico, but not due to the injury that has sidelined him for the past three matches. Reports confirm that the Italy international has been granted permission to step away from the squad for personal reasons.

According to updates from Violanews.com, Kean and his partner are expecting the birth of their second child in the coming days. The Fiorentina striker has been given leave from May 1 to May 4 to be with his family during this special time.

While away from the team, Kean will also continue his rehabilitation work to overcome the physical issues that have kept him out of action. His absence has been felt on the pitch, but Fiorentina have managed to hold their own without their star forward.

The Viola have gone seven matches unbeaten in Serie A following a tough first half of the 2025-26 season. In Kean's absence, they secured a 1-0 win over Lazio, followed by draws against Lecce (1-1) and Sassuolo (0-0).

Manager Paolo Vanoli has rotated his options up front during Kean's injury layoff. Roberto Piccoli started the first two matches as the go-to replacement, but with both Kean and Piccoli unavailable for the most recent 0-0 draw with Sassuolo, the starting center-forward role was handed to Albert Gudmundsson.

As Kean focuses on family and recovery, Fiorentina will look to extend their unbeaten run against a Roma side eager to climb the Serie A table. All eyes will be on how the Viola adapt without their key striker at the Olimpico this weekend.
